What are you doing to GKU? Usual things
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: pretty sure I ovulated on Saturday. Just need one more high temp.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? Get pregnant lol but no, I'm ready for fall. I hate summer, unless I'm at the beach/pool.

What are you doing to GKU? Sex, OPKs, PNV and reducing caffeine
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Looking forward to starting my second cycle of OPKs tomorrow. I don't know why, but I really like using these. Maybe because I feel like I'm doing some kind of science experiment? Lol.
GTKY: I have enjoyed this summer, but I am so ready for fall now. Very excited for cooler weather (and lower electric bills), fall clothes and all the shows to start back up!
What are you doing to GKU? BBT OPKs, PNV, anything else I can think of
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: had a temp spike this morning, but I temped later than normal and also I was kinda drunk last night so it might not mean anything. Yesterday would have been unusually early for me to O.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? I'm a teacher so to me summer was over 3 weeks ago. As soon as school starts I'm ready for fall weather.
4leafclover I know what you mean. I get the cheap OPKs so I can pee on as many as I want and watch the line get darker and darker and then fade out again.

Right now I'm using the Clear Blue Advanced digital kind and those don't let you test after your surge is detected. I like the digital kind for now, but I was considering buying some cheap OPKs as well so I can keep testing to see if fades out or detects another surge.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I haven't temped or used OPKs the past two days while camping. I got a +OPK today so I'll see what FF does with the missing temps right before o. Assuming the +OPK actually means I'm ovulating, I'm glad it's happening at a reasonable time after the CP.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? I really wanted to get another decent hike in which we did this weekend so I think I'm ready now.

What are you doing to GKU? This is the first cycle that I am going to start temping. I haven't decided whether or or not to start OPKs but I might try some cheapie ones just to see.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm actually looking forward to charting instead of just randomly guessing when I O and hoping that we had some decent timing.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? DH and I are hoping to make it to Chicago for a long weekend to visit friends. We could do that in the fall though if we don't go in the next couple of weeks. Our AC decided it was done for summer though and we haven't gotten it fixed yet so I am ready for some cool fall weather.
Cycle/Month: 11 CD: 1, came in full force this am :/ What are you doing to GKU?: I think I'm going to just stop everything and just wing it RRCS: just the usual CD1 shitty feelings

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, PNV, CM
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've had some crazy temps these last few days. I hope they start leveling out soon.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? I'm pretty ready for fall. I need to go through all my clothes and start pulling out summer clothes and get my sweaters out again. I love sweater weather.
GTKY: We wanted to go camping this summer and didn't get a chance to do that. We had some great adventures though, and some good relaxing, so I'm OK with the fact that we didn't do everything. And I'm ready for some cooler weather!
@leafclover and JoBub I like cheap opks too for the same reason.
Month/cycle:8
Cd:13
GKU: DTD the past two days as MH is going OOT for work tonight. I normally O cd14-16 so fingers crossed. I'm just glad we got a few days in the FW.
RRCS: I keep forgetting to temp this cycle so I'm counting on cm, opks, and past O days. I'm gonna try and be better with temping but I'm not sure if FF will pull cross hairs with such limited data.
GTKY: I'm enjoying the warm days and cool nights now. Fall is my favorite time of year.

We love to camp too, but didn't get to this year so far. We planned a trip for the first weekend of October. The kids trick or treat and it's normally nice fall weather.

So I didn't temp Monday and Tuesday because my thermometer was broken and I was too lazy to go out and get a new one. I finally bought one yesterday and my temp today was crazy high compared to what is usually is. So maybe I Od? I guess I'll have to wait and see what the rest of this week's temps are but that would be fantastic this early in my cycle!!
+1 to loving camping. We bought a camper this year. No more tenting for this girl.
Can I ask a temping question here? How much does AC effect your BBT? Should I avoid using it as much as possible, or is it no big deal?
I don't know about AC specifically, but I know when we were using our ceiling fan all night during the heat of summer, my temps were a few points lower than they are now. But I found that as long as my sleep conditions were fairly consistent throughout the cycle, it was still easy to pinpoint O.

Thanks! I figured it's better to get a good nights sleep and have my temp a hair lower vs toss and turn all night because I'm hot and have crappy temps. If that makes sense.
What are you doing to GKU? Sex for now... may start temping
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Had my first postpartum period FINALLY (DS is 9 mo)! I was weirdly excited at AF's arrival because it meant I was ovulating and could start tracking instead of waiting around for something.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? Ready for fall, but would like to hit the pool again

I feel you on the weird excitement. Mine didn't come back til 1 yr when I stopped pumping at work. Though it was pretty awesome to not have to worry about it for a whole year
What are you doing to GKU? Drinking wine and not feeling as sorry for myself as much as usual!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: As shitty as it was to find out that I really am infertile (as if 4 years of trying didn't tell me that lol), it has been a little freeing. This is possibly the first time that I haven't been really upset and disappointed about CD 1. I had no expectations, so I have nothing to be sad for today. I am in a much better place now that I know what is wrong and that soon I will have a plan in place to, hopefully, get me knocked up.
****Question*** I am kinda surprised that I started my period this early, I wasn't expecting it until Saturday. Anyone know why my LP would get shorter randomly? It is usually around 16-18 days, this cycle was 13. This is my first cycle temping since January so its possibly gotten shorter over time.
GTKY: Is there anything you still want to do before summer ends? Or are you just ready for fall? I am so ready for fall! The weather in NY this past weekend was heaven. Coming back to 90% humidity and 99 degree weather was just awful.
